Applesauce

Tom likes applesauce with pork and last week I had apples but no sauce so  I made him some with 2 beautiful Honeycrisp apples. Here's my quick and easy recipe:

2 huge ( softball size )Honeycrisp apples , peeled, cored and diced
1/4 cup sugar ( or less if you like your sauce less sweet)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup water
 
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mash with a potato masher and chill.
This made about 3 cups of sauce which was plenty for the 2 of us for dinner and with breakfast the next day.
